Court of Appeals Tenth Appellate District of Texas 10-25-00320-CR

In re Bobby Joe Buckner

Original Proceeding JUSTICE HARRIS delivered the opinion of the Court.

MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator’s Petition for Writ of Mandamus was filed on September 5, 2025.

There are procedural problems with the petition, including but not limited to, Relator’s failure to provide proof of service of the petition to the trial court judge and the State, and the documents relied on by Relator are not properly sworn. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5; 52.3(k); 52.7(a), (c); TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM.

CODE § 132.001(c). Nevertheless, we use Rule 2 to suspend the operation of these rules and deny relator’s petition. See TEX. R. APP. P. 2.

Relator’s Motion to Appoint Counsel, also filed on September 5, 2025, is dismissed as moot.
